Installing first time Win 7 on a pre overlocked GPU

[hedgehogpie]

Hi,


Please bare with me, I'm so totally noob on this.

Is it okay to install Win 7/8 for first time with a factory overclocked GPU? like asus DCU II Top or the gigabyte windforce OC? I've heared that installing an OS with a hardware that is overclocked you will get a system error?

Or should I just first install Win 7/8 and then after installation of the OS, I will put my GPU on my motherboard? Does my system will automatically detect it? Means, I will turned OFF my system, put my GPU on my motherboard and after it loads my system wil detect my GPU?

Yes, installing Win 7 with a factory OCed GPU will work just fine. Just install Windows as you normally would. After Windows is updated, install your video drivers and you'll be fine. No worries here.

its fine to install it on an overclocked gpu

just installed windows 8 on gigabyte 7970 ghz edition

edit--its only if you had an unstable cpu (processor) overclock that you might have an issue installing os
